ACORN, Jennifer Bruner's best friends, and Sherrod Brown too


This surprises no one.

ACORN engaged in a scheme to use taxpayer money to support a partisan political agenda, according to a new report from Republicans on a House oversight committee.

The report, released Thursday, accuses ACORN of fraudulent activities and widespread corruption and calls for a criminal investigation into the advocacy group. It offers the first detailed account of the allegations that have dogged the organization in recent months.

ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform, has been under constant fire from conservatives since last year for its support of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy and its planned participation in next year's 2010 census.

The executive summary of the report says ACORN provided contributions of financial and personnel resources to indicted former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and candidate Obama, among others, in what the report calls a scheme to use taxpayer money to support a partisan political agenda, which would be a clear violation of numerous tax and election laws.

What can I do? Get involved now!

I was approached by a friend on the street about 7 days before the last election. He asked me "what can I do?" I asked him what he was talking about. He said "for the election, of course". I told him the election was already over as it started a year ago.

Conservatives that don't like how our state / country is headed need to get involved now, not 7 days before an election.

Why be involved so early, you ask? Well,
  • as you saw from the previous post, the gambling pimps are not waiting until 7 days before an election to start their campaign to legalize more gambling in Ohio.
  • ACORN (Jennifer Brunner and Obama's enablers) have not stopped campaigning, as they are heavily involved in conducting our census. Yes you heard that right.
Here's the conservative's conundrum. We want to vote and be left alone until the next election. We are happily oblivious to the shenanigans that the left is subverting our state to. We go to the polls and are surprised at some of the issues on the ballot.

We go to work everyday and spend time taking care of our families and neighbors, we trust our Representatives to do the right thing and don't have time to pester them about issues.

The leftist is completely opposite. They don't have jobs. If they do have so called jobs, they are in government. Their life's work is to lobby government for more government. This means more job security for them. All the while sucking your money and freedom away from you to support their Marxist form of government they are slowly and patiently trying to install. (see Obama and the bank bailouts)

Did you know the next election is less than a month away? It's May 5th. Do you know what's on the ballot? Don't trust the "news" papers to tell you. You can call your local board of elections and get a list of offices, candidates and issues so you'll be prepared before you vote.

Here you can find info on the proposed issues in Pomeroy: a new income tax and a Proposed Gas Aggregation.
Here you can read about Warren School District's proposed tax levy

I know this is a ramble, but we need to get involved now. I'll give you some ideas where / how to get involved in...in the next post on this subject.

The deceptively titled "Employee Free Choice Act "

Now it's payback time! Labor unions ask political backing for organizing law.

The bottom line is, get rid of secret ballots for organizing a union. How un-American is that? The unions must think they can coerce folks into signing cards in public, much more so than convincing folks to vote their way in a secret ballot election.

I expect Mr. ACORN uh, excuse me Mr. Obama to support it....as he said he would.
